After sailing thru an undefeated season, the Panthers were chosen for the Rose Bowi game against Southern California. Pitt that year had some All Americans in Donchess, Parkinson, Tully, Montgomery, along with Eddie Baker at quarter, Uansa, Williams, Dimeolo and others.

A Panther team celebrated Thanksgiving day at the Pitt stadium by sweeping over the Nebraska Comhuskers to a 40-0 triumph, piling up six touchdowns and four extra points by dint of an irresi.stlble driving and passing attack which for sheer power and all around brilliance quite surpassed the achievements of any gridiron aggregation a Comhus- ker outfit had inspected since the sma.shing defeat Notre outfit administered to scarlet jer- seyed gridders back in 1924.

There was a feeling that was general among Husker followers before the Pitt debacle: AH would have laid their shirt on the line that there a team in the country capable of beating the Nebraska eleven forty points. Several teams unquestionably a touchdown or two better but no more than that, and it would have taken a game to prove even that much.

The Huskers have seen their la.st of Heller, who Thursday rounded out his varsity career in Panther but Sebastian Is a sophomore and Nebraska followers many properly look forward to an inspection of a halfback of dazzling efficiency when young Sebastian comes to Lincoln next fall for the 1931 renewal of the Panther- Cornhusker series. The power and puissance of offensive may be best appreciated from a study of the game statistics, which disclose that the Huskers were hopelessly outclassed from the opening kickoff to the final pistol shot.

The Panthers ran the ends, smashed away at the line and completed forward passes with the skill and precision of a perfect football machine. A wall of interference provided a shield for the ball carriers on virtually every thrust aimed at the Nebraska wings, while the drives at the line were cleverly camouflaged by a series of fake sorties toward the ends, after which the ball carrier crashed straight ahead and frequently plunged beyond the Nebraska secondary before the Panther runner could be flopped to the turf. Pitt Gains 583 Yards. total yardage of 583 from scrimmage, as compared with less than 200 for Nebra.ska, and long margin in first downs, represented by twenty-two for the Panthers, as against a meager two for Nebraska. disposes of every doubt concerning the merits of the Pitt smashing victory.

The lone Nebraska gesture toward a touchdown, which, if scored, would have averted the humiliation of a shutout, punctuated the second period. Taking possession of the ball on downs back on their 14-yard line, the forward passing attack suddenly gave evidences of attaining potency, with Fullback Sauer faking a punt, a Sauer to Bauer pass netted fourteen yards. Quarterback Bauer followed on two spinner plays on which he plunged to another flfst down. to 9-Yard Line. With Sauer and Bauer alternating In flipping the oval, first to Kreizinger and then to Masterson, the Cornhuskers inaugurated a steady march of eighty-one yards to within the shadow of the Pitt goal.

The Panthers retreated stubbornly. But the Sutherland eleven was forced back to its 9-yard line, when Tormey, substitute center, intercepted a Sauer pass at the goal line and quickly sped down the field to a point beyond the danger zone.

The tie throws the Nebraska capital aggregation into a tie with Omaoa Tech for the championship of the Missouri Valley high school conference.

A victory would have giveu the vi.sitors from Husker land the undisputed championsnip. Good football was impossible and the game turned into a punting duel. However, the visitors threatened twice during the melee, being halted on 1-foot line in the first quarter and being stopped four yards from the goal line in the final chapter of the dreary contest. Kulper, Williams Shine. With Kulper and Williams taking turns at gaming yardage for Lincoln, the visitors marched goal- ward after the first exchange of punts had given them the ball on 40-yard line.

The Ne- bra.skans continued their march until they came to within a foot of a six pointer, but the local Indians tightened their front wall on the fourth down and the invaders were held. Central punted out of danger. During the entire first half play was in territory, but the Lincoln eleven failed to threaten again. Central kicked to Lincoln to open the second half and during the entire third period the Indians and Nebraskans ploughed thru the mud in the territory. However, shortly after the fourth quarter got under way Lincoln gained considerable ground on numnerous exchanges of punts and again threatened.

Baldwin returned a Central punt from the locals 30-yard line to their 19-yard stripe. Kulper and Williams tore off a first down. The visitors then made five mere yards on four attempts, but were short of a score by four yards and again Central booted out of danger and the game ended a few minutes later with the ball in midfield. Ray, center for Lincoln, and Harold Miller and Greene, ends, were powers in the visitors line thru the majority of the game. Kulper and Williams accounted for the majority of 101 yards gained from scrimmage.

Central made only three yards from scrlm- make. The lineup and summary: AMOS ALONZO STAGG. of ChlraRo. The Big Ten conference football season for twenty-five years has closed regularly on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving day, but the faculty committee and athletic director.s voted that in view of the suffering resulting from unemployment the conference universities would extend the season one week long and allow games between its members to be played for charity. The athletic directors arranged schedules In keeping with the action of the faculty conference.

The majority of the directors and coaches agreed that the following schedule of games would produce the most income for charity, namely Northwestern against Purdue at Soldier Field, Chicago. Minnesota again.st Ohio at Minneapolis; and Michigan against Wisconsin at Ann Arbor. It wa.s further voted that a tournament be held between Chicago, Iowa, Illinois on Stagg field on Thanksgiving day, Chicago to play Iowa one half, Illinois to play Indiana one half and the winners to play a second half. A most interesting game will take place between Minnesota and Ohio at Minneapolis. Most people do not know that the University of Minnesota had a leading part in the formation of the Big Ten conference.

Professor Conway MacMillan of Minnesota called the original meeting of the faculty representatives in 1896 which meeting resulted in the formation of what i.s called the Western conference, originally consisting of seven members. Iowa and Indiana joined in 1899 and Ohio joined in 1912 creating what is commonly known as the Big Ten conference. Gophers Hold Edge. It is interesting to note that only Iwo football games have been played between Minne.sota and Ohio during this period of nineteen years, Ohio defeating Minnesota 27 to 0, at Columbus in 1921, and Minnesota returning the compliment 9 to 0 at Minneapolis in 1922. This has been due largely to the fact that these two universities are the most remote from one another.

The psychology seems a bit in favor and I rather expect it to win. The game between Northwestern and Purdue at Soldier field should be particularly interesting. Northwestern has been leading all along in the conference and in the minds of most people will go into this game a top heavy favorite. Furthermore, Northwestern to hold its position as champion must not be defeated. This game will be another test of the Notre Dame and the Warner systems as developed at Purdue and Northwestern.

Northwestern has the edge. If playing conditions are righL Michigan should win its game with Wisconsin at Ann Arbor. Michigan has an unusually strong defensive team as Indicated by the scarcity of scores made against her. Its running attack also has surprised her competitors. The Notre Dame-Army game in New York holds the spotlight in the east.

Coach Anderson and his assistants have developed a remarkably fine scoring and defensive team. The game will be of particular interest to Jesse Harper who has recently returned to Notre Dame as athletic director because back in 1913 when he was athletic director and football coach at Notre Dame he initiated the Notre Dame-Army series by winning 35 to 13. Notre team has been magnificently strong again this year and with good playing conditions in my judgment wiU prove its class. OmPLE IS SELECTION ERN END Smith Chosen for Other Wing Post of All Star Team. ZIMMERMAN AT BY SOL METZGER.

One trick in football strategy is to convince an opponent that a certain play is under way and then cross him with another that is decidedly different. Andy Kerr does just this with his Colgate team. Thursday I showed long side reverse run which worked so well against Brown. Here is its companion play; one that starts exactly like the reverse, but instead develops into a drive thru the short side of the line. This play starts with back (2) taking the snap and running to his right as if to give the ball to 4.

He spins as 4 passed him and then plunges ahead into the gap between tha defensive right tackle and guard. The fake of 4 to the right helps the play, as it tends to draw over to that side the secondary defense. Thus, back (1) and right end (5) coming across the scrimmage line and downfield are often able to take out the defensive halfbacks, thereby clearing the field for a long run by 2.

Many other brilliant players received votes, but the majority went to those in this lineup.

The election of Dalrymple was unanimous He Is a marvelous end, big, fast and resourceful. Smith, also for end. and Hickman, for a guard, received four-fifths of all votes cast. It seems a pity that with so many great players on Southern conference elevens, more men could not have been selected for this honor. Smith was chosen for the All- Southern because he has power and speed, and left his mark in crucial instance.s, on many a field.

Leyendecker, for one of the tackles. also is fast and powerful. Patton, the other tackle, was selected by every Southern coach whos(S team had played Sewanee. Hickman Great Guard. Hickman is one of the great defensive guards of all time.

He la a powerful, activa player, who weighs 225. Rcaflde. also strong and fast, has been a big factor in the success of 'Tulane. Nearly all the coaches agreed on Gracey for center. He js a player of skill and spirit.

Dawson, for quarter, is a great field general. He does a good back should do, McEver and Zimmerman, the halves, are big, powerful men, with tremendous speed and drive. They would make any team that has ever been assembled. Cain, lor full, is regarded by many as the equal of either of men. This all-southern eleven would average 192 pounds, It would have speed, power, elusiveness and great punting and passing ability, and it would be unbeatable.
